                      RECOGNIZING DR. MARK CRUMMEY

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, school principals are more than just managers 
of educators and school activities. These individuals become students' 
friends, mentors, coaches, and advocates.
  Today, I have the distinct honor of recognizing Dr. Mark Crummey, 
principal of Highland Park Elementary

[[Page H5983]]

School in Roanoke, Virginia. Dr. Crummey was recently named Elementary 
Principal of the Year by the Virginia Parent Teacher Association.
  Dr. Crummey has over 25 years of experience in education. As both an 
educator and administrator, his life has been dedicated to service. His 
quarter century of experience continues to enrich the lives of the 
students who pass through the doors of Highland Park.
  During Dr. Crummey's tenure, students have shown improvements in both 
grades and test scores, a testament to his and the staff of Highland 
Park Elementary's efforts.
  Mr. Rogers once said: ``Anyone who does anything to help a child in 
his life is a hero to me.'' I agree with that statement and want to 
recognize Dr. Crummey as a hero in our community. His continued 
dedication to the students of Highland Park Elementary is commendable, 
and I congratulate him on this incredible honor.
